The Calgary Flames trimmed their training camp roster by nine players on Tuesday, reducing their total group to 55 players. The march towards the opening of the regular season continues.
The Flames have to file a cap compliant roster of between 20 to 23 players with the league’s central registry by 3 p.m. MT on Mon., Oct. 9. The regular season waiver period begins on Sept. 28, and Calgary Wranglers camp is expected to open in early October.
